Ask if you want but I’m not sure if the question is ability or suvivability. You can lick anything once. Just might regret it.

If you can somehow lick a gas, more power to you.

Any element can be made into a state you can eat, drink, or breathe. Doesn’t mean you’ll survive the attempt, nor even properly get to attempt it.

Making any of these gasses lickable kind of renders the green invalid.

Oh you said gas…. Sorry I misunderstood for a second.

Just flop your mouth open and close like a fish.

I'd argue in the states you can lick those you really shouldn't because it will instantly freeze your tongue off

How cold do you need to get to achieve solid nitrogen?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In 1 atmosphere of pressure no temperature is cold enough. You can do it if you put it in a vacuum chamber and cool it down to about -200c

Absolutely bonkers, that definitely shouldn't be safe to lick.
